Udimore Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 At early stages but considering getting involved with a Limited Edition hand built Collins teleshift from white metal and brass. Every detail will be exact and will be a heavy model in 1:32 scale so price will be around the ?100 mark. Probably 100 models only in yellow, maybe 25 in red and green What do you guys think a seller or a stinker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 I like it. They were built not far down the road from me by Collins engineering, who then went on to just trailers but I think now they just do farm buildings - the Brightwells building at Leominster, Easters Court, is one of theirs I think. Only concern would be if enough people have had contact with them to make them desirable? I'd agree with FB, wouldn't have thought you'd struggle to sell 100 though. Money no object I'd have one, be spot on in a diorama of a Herefordshire dairy farm, couple of old Fords floating about, Howard Rotaspreader, Teagle chopper. Lovely!
